Why choose JR Farm Food Rat?

Good rat food must suit how rats eat. Rats are curious, inquisitive, and skillful with their paws. They grab food, carry it away, sort components, and enjoy searching for different flavors. A mixed diet with multiple textures therefore makes daily mealtime just a little more interesting.

JR Farm Food Rat contains, among other things, extruded cornmeal, corn flakes, dari, wheat flakes, hulled sunflower seeds, milo, puffed wheat, wheat, extruded rice flour, carrot, carob, pea flakes, corn, parsnip, wild seeds, silver millet, canary grass seed, beetroot, oats, buckwheat, and managierst.

Animal protein sources are also present in this food. The label lists shrimp, mealworms, silkworm pupae, chicken, and fish, among others. This suits rats well, as rats are not strict herbivores. They have a broader diet than, for example, guinea pigs or rabbits.

The vegetable and herb ingredients, such as carrot, parsnip, beetroot, tomato, bell pepper, courgette, cucumber, parsley, marigold, and dill seed, provide extra variety in scent, colour, and taste. As a result, the mix remains attractive and varied for rats who enjoy being active with their food.

For which animals is this food suitable?

JR Farm Food Rat is suitable for rats. The food is intended as a complete daily staple food and can be given in a food bowl or partially scattered in the enclosure to stimulate natural foraging behavior.

Feeding & use

Give JR Farm Food Rat as the daily main food. As a practical guideline, you can assume approximately 15 grams of food per rat per day. The correct amount also depends on the age, activity, condition, and eating behavior of your rats.

Rats often enjoy searching for their food. Therefore, you can place part of the portion in a food bowl and scatter another part throughout the enclosure, in a digging box, among safe furnishings, or at a foraging spot. This way, you immediately turn feeding into an activity.

Are you switching from a different food? Then gradually mix the new food with the old food. A gentle transition of about 7 to 10 days helps your rats get used to the new smell, taste, and composition.
